Optoma launches LED+ ZW212ST and ZX212ST XGA/WXGA Short Throw LED/Laser Hybrid Projectors

The two new projectors, in XGA (ZX212ST) and WXGA (ZW212ST) resolutions boast increased brightness of 2300 and 2500 ANSI Lumens respectively and are the result of substantial design and manufacturing improvements from one of just a handful of companies worldwide that are projector specialists. These latest projectors represent the cutting edge of lamp free LED+ technology and offer an exceptional life-span and eliminate the need for replacement lamps.

Head of Product Management, Justin Halls commented. "LED+ technology is the future of projection. Our latest generation of lamp free LED+ projectors provide a significant performance increase whilst still offering lower running and maintenance costs."

Inherently, colour fidelity created by LED+ technology is exceptional and coupled with the proven single chip DLP® Dark Chip 3 (DC3) design, leads to an increased perception of brightness over equivalent lamp based technologies.

Amongst the many new features of these latest Optoma projectors is the built in support for wireless presenting. Using a smartphone or tablet (iOS and Android supported) and the free downloadable Wifi Doc App., presenting directly from a smart device is as simple as opening a document or file into the Wifi Doc app. Presentations using projectors become completely intuitive using all the benefits of a touch screen interface.

If smart device presenting is not available, Optoma have included USB stick and SD card inputs for use with the built in media player software, negating the need to convert documents beforehand. Once copied onto a stick or card the projector does the rest and is capable of producing up to a 60"/152cm diagonal image from just 68cm away. Built-in 10w speakers mean that external amplification is not usually necessary.

The ZX212ST and ZW212ST are ideal for classrooms and small boardrooms. Once installed, the projector is easily managed. In addition to AMX ® Dynamic Discovery, Optoma now offers Crestron Roomview ™ compatibility, a custom configurable interface to monitor, manage and control every device in every room remotely via a network.

Optoma was a world leader in supplying projectors to the industry with <0.5 watt power consumption in standby mode, the ZX212ST/ZW212ST not only delivers reduced running costs, with Eco+ technology which brings together superb performance, but reinforces the commitment to "environmentally friendly" features such as timer control functions and fast shutdown and start-up. Lowered total cost of ownership coupled with low maintenance design ensures there are no hidden costs to owning an Optoma projector.
